Free, good quality DVD ripping software?

are you on a mac or pc?

For mac there is Mac The Ripper

Ever since my kids have been able to “put the disks in all by themselves” I have given them their own copy to do that with.

I use handbrake to put DVD’s on my iPod. Does that help?

WinX DVD ripper

http://handbrake.fr/ Handbrake is all you need for any platform.

@StellarAirman – Cool. I didn’t know that was free.

that’s another reason why I wanted it… I want to put movies on my Zune and I have to rip them to do that. Thanks guys.

I’m running Vista, btw.

When i tried handbrake it wouldn’t rip copyprotected DVD’s.

Handbrake will rip any copy protected DVD. Just install VLC along with it. www.videolan.org

I use oneclick dvd ripper, it can rip copy protected DVD’s. There’s a hacker website that claims if you put a certian code into Nero you can rip copy protected DVD’s, but I have not figured it out yet.

Handbrake + VLC. On Windows OSes you will still need to rip to the hard drive first. I recommend DVD HD Decrypter for this step, it’s kept up to date.

there is a paid version that does it all, but the free version will rip the disc to the computer

Here’s a detailed guide to get you started: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/rip_your_movie_dvds_and_watch_them_anywhere

I’d mainly like a backup copy of a DVD that doesn’t look like I held a camcorder in front of a TV screen. lol

I still use, after all these years, RipIt4Me, which actually just streamlines DVDDecrypter and DVDShrink to work together. You might have a little trouble finding these programs, but they are out there.
